Lynn Rupley, Best in Show
Rupley has been winning awards at the Kentucky State Fair for almost 30 years. "I've just been a-goin'," she says. Pies,
cakes, bread, candy, dairy…. Blue ribbons fill a wood-framed display case in her dining room in PRP. "Daddy thought it
would hold everything I'd ever win, I guess," the 70-year-old says with a laugh. This year she's making bread (that's 25
entries) and entering the category that includes jellies/marmalade/jam/preserves/butter/dehydrated foods (33 entries).
Has she ever won the latter? "No," Rupley says, "but I will this year." The Kentucky State Fair is Aug. 18-28. — Josh Moss
